2025 Chevy Traverse

Chevrolet offers the 2025 Traverse in 4 carefully curated trim levels, each polished to suit distinct tastes and lifestyles. The LT ushers in the lineup with satin-chrome accents and 18-inch wheels, presenting a refined yet practical appeal. Stepping up, the RS adds an urban edge with its Gloss Black grille, matching badging, and 22-inch wheels—a bold aesthetic that turns heads along Bayou Lafourche. The off-road-ready Z71 enhances rugged elegance with all-terrain tires, red tow hooks, skid plate, 18-inch high-gloss black machined-face with all terrain tires, and a raised ride height—an embodiment of adventure-ready sophistication. The jewel in the crown, High Country, crowns the range with an imposing chrome grille, exclusive 22-inch wheels, and premium finishes—a statement SUV that commands attention on Louisiana’s highways and byways.

Under the hood lies a sophisticated 2.5L Turbocharged engine, a significant upgrade over the previous V6. This modern powerplant generates a robust 328 hp and 326 lbs.-ft. of torque, seamlessly paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Fuel efficiency is equally impressive, rated at an EPA-estimated 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway—ideal for both everyday commutes and extended Gulf Coast treks.

The 2025 Traverse delivers refined power with an unmistakable presence. The Turbocharged 2.5L engine offers brisk, responsive acceleration, while the added torque vitality is ideal for highway merges or towing pleasure craft to nearby lakes. Impressively, every Traverse is rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs. when equipped with the trailering package—attesting to its capability in real-world scenarios. On-road composure is enhanced by a finely tuned suspension that cushions Louisiana’s often uneven roads without sacrificing agility. AWD, particularly the twinclutch setup in Z71, heightens grip and control, an invaluable asset when the skies open. The Traverse is equally composed navigating winding byways or venturing off into rugged paths, especially in the Z71’s terrain mode. For frequent travelers north toward Baton Rouge or beyond, the optional SuperCruise® handsfree driving system elevates comfort and ease on long stretches of interstate.

Slide into the Traverse and you’ll find a cabin that epitomizes space and refinement. Up to 8-occupants can travel in comfort, with flexible seating configurations that include either bench seats or captain’s chairs in the second row, and a generous third row. Cargo capacity peaks at an impressive Best-in-Class 98 cu. ft., ideal for luggage, fishing gear, or oversized family belongings. The well-appointed interior of higher trims, such as Premier and High Country, features supple leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and an AutoSense power liftgate. The tech suite includes a crisp 17.7inch central touchscreen, standard Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth, and an 11inch digital instrument cluster. These control hubs are intuitively integrated for smooth usability while navigating Louisiana’s coastal byways. Additional amenities—trizone climate control, optional rear seat entertainment, and heated rear outboard seats—ensure a comfortable journey for all aboard.

Safety is comprehensive and reassuring as the Traverse is a 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick. Standard across all trims is Chevrolet Safety Assist, a bundle that includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane-Keep Assist, and Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking. The RS, Premier, and High Country also offer Blind-Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and an available HD Surround Vision camera system for confident parking along downtown Cut?Off’s streets. Adaptive Cruise Control (with SuperCruise® option) and Teen Driver technology support both long-distance comfort and parental oversight. Structural integrity is bolstered by a high-strength steel frame and a comprehensive airbag suite, offering peace of mind whether you’re making your daily rounds or heading into Gulf Coast weather.
